Depth Sounder
A depth sounder is a standard feature on the V265
and V285 models. The depth sounder consists of two
main components, the transducer and the depth
sounder. The transducer is mounted to the hull and

transducer and depth sounder communicate by
means of a cable, and are powered by your boat’s 12-
